COMBINATION CLEANING RECEPTACLE AND STOOL. i

Application led July 18,A

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SIMON GOLD'NER and STELLA G.- GOLDNER, citizens of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combination Cleaning Receptacles and Stools, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to combination receptacles and stools.-

More particularly the invention relates to receptacles which are used for cleaning mops and the like; the construction of the receptacle being such that it may .be used as a stool if it is desired.

Some of the objects of the present invention are: to produce an article for houshold -use of dual character which is simple and practical; to employ a removable top which serves to close the body forming the main part of the receptacle in the cleaning operation, and which serves `as a seat when the article is not in use for cleaning as prescribed; to equip the body of the article with legs to thus give to the article the attributes of a stool and at the same time giving height to the body so that it will be conveniently-accessible for the cleaning operations. With these and other objects in view the invention resides in the particular provision and relative disposition ofrparts hereinafter more fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which: j Figure 1 is a central verticall sectional view through` the article ofthe present invention.

Figure 2 is a. horizontal /sectional view taken on the line 2--2, Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a detail view illustrating more clearly the slot in the body of the article.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the parts of grill or grating against which the mop or other article to be cleaned strikes. Referring now more particularly to the several views of the drawing for all of the details of the articles of the present invention, it will be manifest that, it includes a hollow, preferably cylindrical body 10 of sheet metal. The said body has a hopper 11 having an open end 12 to provide a discharge opening. A spring retained discharge cup 15 is adapted to be arranged on the end 12 and. the clip springs 13, 13 eu- 1921. serial 110.485,782.

gage a bead 14 formed on said end 12. The body 10 has the upper end thereof closed by a cover or top 16 which comprises hinged sections 17 and 18; the section 17 being larger than the section 18. The body 10 has attached thereto a handle 19 for carrying the article in its entirety. Legs 20, 20 in the nature of strips of metal bent upon themselves are attached (tothe body l0. The legs 20, 2O hold the body elevated so that the same will be conveniently accessible for cleaning operations and at the same time the article may be used as a stool when the cover 16 is in place.

In lorder that the handle of a mop or other kindred article may be properly disposed for the cleaning operation there is provided a slot 21 in the side wall of the body 10. The slot 21 extends nearly to the juncture of the .body 1() with the hopper 11. A rubber buffer 22 or the like is held in place at :the bottom of the slot in any suitable manner. The buffer cushions the handle and absorbs undue force while allowing the flicking action to be set in cleaning the mop shreds.

In order that the shreds of the mop may be most thoroughly cleaned, there is provided a grill or grating 23 which4 is made from preferably twol parts of similar construction which are interfitted and which lie across each other to form a foraminated member against which the mop shreds move or which the said shreds encounterinthe movement or reciprocation'- offthe mop *in its entirety by manipulating the handle of the mop 24. The grating 23 is held in place by the juncture of the body 1() and the hopper 11. In making thel grating 23 in sect-ions, it will at once be obvious that thefsame may be readily cleaned.

From the foregoing it will be manifest that, the construction of the parts and their employment makes for a sanitary article to be used in the household with which to said` body,

and a foraminated member arranged transversely and interiorly of said receptacle above said discharge opening.

2. A receptacle having a discharge opening, a waste cup removably attachable to the receptacle to close said discharge opening, the wall of said receptacle having a slot therein which opens through the edge there,

of, and a foraminated member arranged transversely and interiorly of said receptacle above said discharge opening. y

3. An article embodyingan open ended body, one end thereof being closable by a cover and the other end thereof being closable by a removable waste cup, a slot in a wall of said body an opening through yone end thereof, and supporting legs attached as and for the purposes speci- 4. An article embodying an open ended body, a sectional cover for closing one end of said body, a spring retained removable *waste cup for closing the otherend of saidA body, a slot in a wall of said body and opening through* one end thereof, and supporting vlegs attached to said body.

5. An article embodying an open ended hollow body having a hopper which converges tothe discharge end of said body, a sectionalcover of hingedly related parts for closing one end of said body, a spring retained? removable waste cup for closing the discharge end of said body, and a slot in a wall of said body and 'opening through the upper end thereof.'

6; An article` embodying an open ended -hollow body having a hopper which converges to the discharge end of said body, a y

sectional cover of hingedly related parts for closing one end of said body, a removable Waste cupfor closing the discharge end of said body, a slot in a wall of said bod and opening through the upperend thereo ,'and a foraminated member disposed transversely and interiorly of said body.

7. An article embodyingj an open ended hollow body 'having a hopper lwhich converges to the discharge end of said body, a sectional cover of hingedly related parts for closing one end of said body, a spring retained removable waste cup for closing the discharge end of said body, a slot in a wall of said body and opening through the upper end thereof, and a bui'er at the lower end of said slot.

8. An article was characterized embodying .an open ended hollow body having a hopper which converges to the discharge end of said body, a cover for closing` the upper open end of said body, a spring retained removable Waste cup for closing the discharge end of the bod opening through the upper end thereof, -a buHer at the lower end of said slot, and a sectional foraminatedmember arranged interiorly of the body in a plane below the said buffer. c
